The Structural Mechanics Module is dedicated to the analysis of components and subsystems where it is necessary to evaluate deformations under loads. It also contains special user interfaces for the modeling of shells, beams and trusses.

The Structural Mechancis Module is used for a wide range of analysis types including: stationary, eigenmode, parametric, quasi-static, frequency-response, and prestressed. Its 3D solid as well as 2D plane stress, plane strain and axisymmetric user interfaces allow for large deformation analysis with geometrical nonlinearity, mechanical contact, piezoelectric materials, thermal strain, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI). For nonlinear materials analysis, two add-on products are available: the Nonlinear Structural Materials Module and the Geomechanics Module.

The Structural Mechanics Module also works in tandem with COMSOL Multiphysics and the other discipline-specific modules to couple structural analysis into any multiphysics phenomenon.
